Viraj Madappa claims the maiden Title at the age of 20 in his maiden Asian Tour at the Vietnam Open. Great start for the career of the youngster. Ranked at 1561 this victory would surely push  him inside top 500 and to great heights in days to come.

I was going through the Asian games schedule & various chances for India. Found out that we can achieve 6 out of 8 Olympic quotas

 

1) Hockey (both men & women) - Gold - Possible

2) Archery (both men & women recurve individual) - Difficult but possible

3) Tennis (both men & women singles) - Difficult but possible

4) Sailing (both men & women laser) - Not possible

Are some of the big names in shooting not participating in Asian games due to World Championships (Olympic qualifiers) from Aug 31?

Looks like that is is not the case. Jitu rai is out of World Championships as well...There has been trails and the criteria was something like best four scores within a period of 150 days.
